Key Advantages
1. Reduces system surface tension, improves wetting & spreading over low‑surface‑energy substrates.
2. Offers partial crater‑inhibition effect, minimises pinhole & crater defects after application.
3. Low foaming tendency, adapts to high‑speed stirring and spray‑application processes.
4. Works for water‑borne and selected solvent‑borne systems; good compatibility with anionic & non‑ionic components.
5. Compatible with polyurethane, acrylic and emulsion‑based resin formulations.
